    Salt Papi vs Amadeusz Ferrari
    Unsurprisingly, Ferrari has refused to come out for the fourth round.
    He didn’t need to get DQ’d, he quit himself!
    That wraps up an entertaining night of Misfits-fuelled action with Salt Papi getting the TKO win to top the night off.
    Copy linkCopiedSalt Papi vs Amadeusz Ferrari
    Ferrari is coming with the most outrageous attacks, swinging from the hip.
    He’s running out of ideas and again tries to use his MMA skills to take Salt Papi down and gets another point off.
    DQ could be incoming as we head into round four.

    Up next is the night’s headliner, Salt Papi against Amadeusz Ferrari.
    Salt Papi is coming off a loss to Slim in October and looks to bounce back tonight.
    Ferrari is a volatile MMA star who has tried to fight everyone and anyone this week so could get tasty.

    Out comes Karate Combat star Samuel Ericsson, who comes into the ring and faces off to Taylor.
    They’re going back and forth and appear to agree to a fight…

    Fight is scored 50-45, 50-46 and 50-45 and your winner by unanimous decision is Jully Poca.
    Her sharper boxing sees her take the decision and retain her title.
    Copy linkCopiedJully Poca vs 6ar6ie6 
    Late rally from 6ar6ie6 in the final two rounds as she uses her size to get to Poca.
    But the champ does come back with some nice combinations and both swing for the fences to close the fight out.
    Decent action over five rounds as it goes to the scorecards.
    Copy linkCopiedJully Poca vs 6ar6ie6 
    Poca’s moutguard is punched out but she’s been the cleaner boxer of the two through three rounds.
    The counter left hand is on the money for the Brazilian to head and body.
    Copy linkCopiedJully Poca vs 6ar6ie6 
    6ar6ie6 comes forward in the opening round but Poca is looking to sit back and counter.
    She lands a good few counter lead right hooks and looks to go to the body too.
    Poca, the Brazilian champ, is the quicker of the two but 6ar6ie6 has the size and power.
    Copy linkCopiedUp next
    We have some women’s title action with 6ar6ie6 against Jully Poca.
    Both have proven to carry power in their previous bouts and are considered among the best women’s Misfits fighters.

    KSI was left impressed at ringside with Kenny’s performance.
    He tweeted: “Showed the levels. Really good win.”
    The two have sparred before and Kenny has called out KSI. One for the future?

    Big uppercut and Brooks is DOWN again.
    That right uppercut has continued to land but Brooks bravely gets up and lands a big right of his own.
    Brooks is up against the ropes as Kenny hammers home to the body and the ref steps in! It’s all over in round two.

    Brooks is down at the end of round one after an uppercut and right hand lands.

    There’s been some bad blood going into this one so expect some fireworks.
    Copy linkCopiedTaylor vs Mist

    The two are said to have been friends until a bitter falling out and now they will settle it in the ring.
    Or attempt to at least.
    Copy linkCopiedArgentinian King vs Pully Arif
    The fight goes the distance and Argentinian King should walk away with a fairly landslide victory.
    But Arif deserves credit for getting in there so late and making it the full five rounds.
    He just about got there after a shaky and knackering final round but can leave with his head held high.
    Copy linkCopiedArgentinian King vs Pully Arif
    Argentinian King landed a good succession of shorts there.
    Lovely left hook and counter right uppercut lands but Arif takes it well and stays in there.
    Copy linkCopiedArgentinian King vs Pully Arif
    Arif is on his bike and avoiding what’s coming his way fairly well.
    Argentinian King is the aggressor and doing the damage but he’s following Arif around and falling short.
    He might just start to get frustrated with this.
    Copy linkCopiedArgentinian King vs Pully Arif
    Arif is the aggressor in the opening round but he’s leaving himself open when leading with the jab.
    Argentinian King is a lot more composed behind his jab and looking to counter over the top but is biding his time.
    Be interesting to see how much Arif has in the tank having taken the fight with such short notice.

    Lightweight pair ‘Argentinian King’ and Pully Arif are up next.
    Argentinian King had a string of pullouts with Arif stepping in on the last minute to take the bout.

    Knights is dropped twice in the fifth and final round, with Tempo Arts taking the stoppage victory.
    One-way traffic from the first bell, swarming Knights with body shots and hooks.
